Less than 100 days until Christmas! Are you organised? I'm not, I have plans to make some wonderful goodies for Christmas presents. So now it's up to me to put this plan into action! Time to set aside a few hours a week to sew and make a list of recipients for these items and still yet to make.
This is a tote bag set I made for a teacher a few years ago, (sorry about the photo quality, the laptop died that had the original image). Both bags are fully lined, and the owl on the front of the tote is also a pocket.
I also have made this lunch bag - its lined with oilcloth for easy wipe clean. Maybe something like this for a friend or even a teacher?
I find the hardest to craft presents for are men. My son had a male teacher last year so there were no handmade goodies for him, found out which footy team he barracked for and went with a gift that way. Does anyone have any suggestions for a male?
I've had an obsession this past year with mexican oilcloth - here are some goodies I've made. Some extra roomy totes, a lunch bag and also a cosmetic purse. All co-ordinating wonderfully. I will definitely be making some more of these oilcloth lunch bags, they are very cute - I modified the pattern and added a handle, they will be very easy to carry now, my daughter has already put in her order.
I also need to finish a few projects - I have many! How about you? do you get sidetracked with something new too? There is some gorgeous vintage inspired bunting just waiting to be strung together, and skirts with just the elastic waist to sew. I am setting aside a day this coming week to complete some projects - no more procrastinating!
I will post pictures of my progress along the way, and maybe my first tutorial, any ideas on what you'd like that to be?
